Enhancement to "Latest Changes"
One of the things people like least on Family Search is that someone can change your updates after you have done research to verify accuracy. It is helpful to have the "latest changes" option under the "person" view. However, unless I go into that person and see changes made, I would never know. It would be extremely helpful to have a "latest changes" for my entire family tree instead of just for the "person" view. With this feature, I could easily verify my entire family tree changes each time I sign-in to verify vital information hasn't been changed.
If there is a way to do this already, please let me know. Thanks

Are you following the profiles of your family? And have you added Labels to select groups? Both of those make it very easy to see if/when anything is changed. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-organize-and-label-ancestors-in-my-following-list-in-family-tree

Just to expand some, when you follow people you get an e-mail every week noting the number and type of changes made to those people like this:
Clicking on View Activity, I can jump to see exactly what was done. For the first person here, I see this:
A source was added, two custom events were added which most likely were brought over in the source and both look fine. A previous notification told me this story was attached. If I feel so inclined, I can jump to his record and double check the source is really for him. Or go read the story.
You can only follow 4000 people, but that is generally far more than enough to cover all the most important people you have been working on.
You follow people by clicking on Follow in the header or the star found various other places:
Once you start following people, the program will even suggest who else you should be following:
